Facebook and Faces Weirdness

Does anyone have insights into how Facebook and user tagging in synced Facebook albums works? I understand this much: Faces turn into tags, and if the e-mail associated with a Face matches a Facebook user's e-mail address, the tag is linked to that user. I also get that the Faces and tags can't be fully synced since when a tagged user removes his tag on Facebook, you don't want that deleting the corresponding Face in Aperture.
But what happens if the album owner deletes (or adds) a tag in Facebook, should that get synced back to Aperture?
In theory, I should just be able to test that and see, but before I even get there, weirdness happens. After uploading an image and syncing a few times, but having made no changes to either the Facebook or Aperture version, some Faces in Aperture change to their Facebook version (I loose the connection to the Face I tagged, and instead get a little facebook icon) while others go blank (the face is still marked, but as "unnammed"). There seems to be no pattern, that I can discern to what faces Facebookized, what ones go blank, and which ones are unbothered; though it often seems to be the same few people.
The bottom line: +I'm loosing Faces I've entered in images in my Aperture library because I'm syncing them with images on Facebook+. That can't be the plan. Does anyone else see this happening? Is it a known bug? Is it part of some feature I'm not using right?

Roy,
Here are some things I've been able to do successfully.
1. I uploaded a photo to an album, tagged the photo on Facebook, sync'd the album in Aperture and the name appeared on the photo in Aperture.
2. I took another photo of the same person, added the name in Aperture to match what was on Facebook, but not as a FB name just a normal name, and then sync'd the album 5 times. I did not see any weirdness like you described.
3. Took the same photo from step 2, removed the tag on Facebook, sync'd the album in Aperture and the name tag stayed in Aperture.
Does that help explain some things for you?

  • Facebook and Faces = Bad

    I received a new computer and I'm struggling with the Face function. I can upload photos to Facebook from iPhoto but only the first 60 in an album or event. If I want to upload the additional photos to Facebook, I can do that from Facebook (like I used to), but I cannot find the photos. I ran a search and found that I can go to Pictures - > iPhoto Library -> Data -> 2009 -> and then the date, but the original pictures are not there. I only am able to load the iPhoto "faces" pictures of most of my photos.
    So, my questions are..
    1) Where is my computer storing my original pictures?
    2) How can I upload original photos and not iPhoto face photos to Facebook without first exporting them from iPhoto to my desktop?
    3) Apple... really? Everyone hates Faces. Should I make a poster and picket?

    1) Where is my computer storing my original pictures?
    In the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    How can I upload original photos and not iPhoto face photos to Facebook without first exporting them from iPhoto to my desktop?
    Use one, some or all of the following:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    3) Apple... really? Everyone hates Faces. Should I make a poster and picket?
    rejames... really? You have any reason why we should assume you speak for “everybody”?

  • Whenever i start iphoto, it starts connected to Facebook and start uploading my photos to face book which i do not want., whenever i start iphoto, it starts connected to Facebook and start uploading my photos to face book which i do not want.

    Whenever I start iphoto on my macbook pro, its start connecting to facebook and uploading my photos, which i donot want to upload.  Please advise, how to stop iphoto to connecting from facebook.

    Then change that setting in iPhoto. First disconnect your system from the net, IE turn off the WiFi and disconnect the Ethernet cable if one is connected. Then open iPhoto and open the preferences and in the Accounts section remove Facebook. You might also want to look in the sharing section.

  • Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro

    Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.

    Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

  • Firefox will not connect to Tumblr, Facebook, and Google sites.

    I had an issue where my computer completely froze up and I had to force restart. When I logged back on, Firefox no longer trusted Google or Facebook. Youtube seems ok, it's just sites with "google.com" in the URL... and Facebook.
    Here's the error message I am getting:
    This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect
    securely to maps.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely,
    sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
    going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to
    this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
    trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
    maps.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
    I accepted that I would take the risks, but these sites won't load images. What good is Facebook without faces? Any ideas?
    (A user on another site suggested uninstalling Firefox, cleaning the registry, and then re-installing. Doing this made Tumblr stop working)

    *deep breath* Ok. All is well. Thank you all for your help. I wouldn't have realised what the issue was otherwise. I'm good now

  • Photo's on Facebook and Farmville have disappeared. How do I get them back?

    My photo's of friends have disappeared on Facebook and Farmville and I cannot get them back! How can I retrieve the photo's? I had a problem with my 1st account and stopped using it and opened another account under the same name and I tried to delete the 1st account and all of my photo's disappeared. My personal photo is just a full face shot. The first account photo was of me on the beach which I want to delete.

    It is possible that you accidentally clicked the 'Block Images' item in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
    This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
    Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
    If an image is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Based in Thailand, but I can't download Facebook and Google Earth for iPad, what do I do?

    Trying to download Facebook and Google Earth applications for the new iPad 2.  I'm based in Thailand and is unable to find in Thai iTune store.  Very frustrated.  But when I change location to either USA or UK, those two apps do appear.  The only stumbling block is that I do not have a credit card based on those two countries, thus unable to create an account there.  What can I do to get around this weird situation?

    It is really weird that they do have a Facebook application for iPhone, but not for iPad in Thai iTune store.
    There could be copyright or other legal issues of some sort, or Facebook may just not have the iPad version regionalized yet. No way to know with any certainty.
    So we are unable to download applications elsewhere besides our region/country? 
    That is correct. The terms of use for any country's iTunes/App Store restrict its use to within that country only.
    Or is there anything we could do to bring to attention the people who work for iTune Thailand that they need to make available certain applications that already do appear in foreign iTune stores?
    It's not up to Apple, it's up to the developers. You'd need to contact Facebook and Google and urge them to make their apps available in Thailand.
    Regards.

  • IPhoto albums and faces

    Hi,
    So about a month ago I created a smart album in iPhoto and set it up to sync with my iPhone. It worked perfectly. However, a couple of days ago, I started updating the "Faces" of my photos and from that moment on my iPhone not only synced the desired album, but also a new album named "Faces" in which appear the exact same photos from the desired album. Moreover, the "Faces" album is categorized or separated in the names of the people that appear in the original album.
    Just to make sure I made my point:
    - At first I only had one album called "Album1" in which I had photos of John, Jack and Amy. Now, out of nowhere, I have "Album1" and "Faces" which itself is divided in 3 albums named "John", "Jack" and "Amy" and they all contain replicates of the photos in Album1 in which each person appears.
    I haven't been able to find the setting that enables this or disables this. Does anyone know how can I avoid this from happening?
    Thanks,

    Yea, you're right about not being nested albums; its more like you said, a folder named "Faces" with 3 albums, each with the name of the people. I'll try to explain through screenshots... changed names to Ross, Joey and Chandler to make it easier to find photos.
    So first here's Album1 in iPhoto... 9 photos, Smart Album created from keyword: Friends and all faces assigned.
    Now here are iTunes settings. Only Album1 selected to sync. No "faces" are selected to be synced.
    Now here's my iPhone... Smart Album is there, just like intended. But there is also a "Faces" folder, and that folder contains the 3 people that appear in the Smart Album even though I don't want iPhone to sync those faces since they are duplicates!
    That's the issue... too weird for me. Don't even know if this is iPhoto, iTunes or iPhone... sounds more on iPhoto's side, but don't know...

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Appearance tab. Tick the box next to: Display images when the page opens.
    If that box is already ticked, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems loading images, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
    If you still have problems, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

    What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
    Where is the problem?
    Best regards!

    Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
    I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
